You can refeed whenever you want but it'd be a better option to refeed on a day where you workout so that you can have an amazing workout.

Heya cumulo, could you phrase that in layman terms, because I am really interested to know as well.
So far, I'v been doing a mini refeed after each workout. But a few days back, I kinda binged a bit by accident the night before a workout, and had a kick ass workout (broke a few PRs). Which made me wonder if I should place my refeeds the night before workouts, or after workouts?

I often get people to refeed on off days, especially if they do it later in the day the night before a big workout.
Not only an excellent way to recover + gives good hormonal responses to refeeding, but often people are MORE hungry on rest days (inactivity + hunger = storage time for body...) thus, if people are at risk of 'overeating' - you may as well make it PART of the diet.

So...
Are you going to contribute or just toss around cool names? GLUT4 will be upregulated to hell during a depleted refeed, hypersaturating tissues with glycogen (over 2-3x as much over normal levels, IIRC).
Everybody's different (as seen in this thread). I prefer the night before and lifting fasted the next day for my refeeds.
